-* Syria's Christian communities may maintain records of parish baptisms, marriages, and deaths. For more information see [[Syria Church Records]].
-* Syria's other religious communities, including Sunni and Shi'a Muslims and Druze, may maintain limited genealogical records apart from official government records. See [[Syria Religious Records]] for more information.
-* Syria was a [[France Genealogy|French]] mandate from 1920 to 1946. The [[French Genealogical Word List|French language]] played an important role in administration during the mandate period, and some records from that time may be in French rather than [[Arabic Genealogical Word List|Arabic]].
-* Until the end of World War I in 1918, Syria was a part of the [[Ottoman Empire Genealogy|Ottoman Empire]]. During this period the term "Syria" was often applied to the entire Levant, a region encompassing modern-day Syria, [[Lebanon Genealogy|Lebanon]], [[Palestine Genealogy|Palestine]], [[Israel Genealogy|Israel]], and [[Jordan Genealogy|Jordan]]. Immigrants from the Levant during this period may be listed as Syrian in the records of their new countries, even if their homeland was not within the modern borders of Syria. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Ottoman Empire conducted detailed censuses of its population. FamilySearch provides access to some of these digitized records. For more information see [[Palestine, Ottoman Census and Population Registers - FamilySearch Historical Records|Palestine, Ottoman Census and Population Registers]].
-* For more information on the Syrian diaspora, see [[Syria Diaspora]] and [[Syria Emigration and Immigration]].
-* For more information about Syrian tribes, including links to books detailing the histories and genealogies of certain tribes in the country and throughout the Arab world, see [[Syria Tribes and Clans]].
-* See [[Syria Societies]] for organizations and communities focused on Syrian genealogy. Connecting with these groups can provide insight into research questions.
